Broadcast Announcements

new in release v2.14

Broadcasts are a way to communicate news or any other relevant information to
Thruk users. They will be displayed on all pages except the panorama dashboard.
Broadcasts will be displayed on each page every time until they expire or the
user clicks the dismiss link.

Create new Broadcast

There is a broadcast editor available if you are admin (having the configuration_information and systems_command role). The editor
can be found on the top right in the preferences menu.

Create new Broadcast manually

Broadcasts can be created manually under the var/broadcasts folder. Each
news goes into one file with the .json extension. The var folder is usually
/var/lib/thruk/broadcast or ~/var/thruk/broadcast when using OMD. You might
have to create the folder first.
